So This Is Love

The love of my life and I just celebrated our FOURTH anniversary. Really? Four years! Garrett is truely my best friend. We never argue, we laugh all the time, and we love being together. Since our anniversary was on a Thursday and we had to be to work on Friday, we made a quick trip to Las Vegas for some good food and fun. Our first date was at PF Changs, so we went and ate there, then Garrett surprised me and got us a room at the Worldmark Resort. We went and shopped at the Town Center and then headed back to the hotel to swim in the beautiful pool. We had a wonderful time.

Girls Weekend

What a crazy ride. A few weekends ago I went to SLC with some of the girls I went to high school with. We brought pictures to pass around and tell stories about and laughed so hard. It was one of those experiences like what were you thinking when you got ready that morning, or hey now - that was in STYLE!!!??? Nothing makes you feel old like when you say I've been friends with these people for half my life (since I was 12) It was a great time. Six adults - four babies. Shopping, lots of eating and very little sleep.

Girls Getaway

A few months ago my father in law Ken had a stroke. It caught us by surprise because the guy is so healthy but it put us all on high alert for our own health. Last week my sister in law went up to SLC to have a test to see if she had a hole in her heart, which was the cause of Ken's stroke. It was a quick ten minute test, but we decided to make a little getaway out of it. My mother in law Katie and my sisters in law Bradi and Lainee and I all loaded in the car, and it was nothing but laughter the rest of the trip.
I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to marry into such an incredible family. We have such a great support system and we are all such great friends. I love you girls and can't wait for the next getaway!

C-O-R-N

O-N-E box of corn, shuck, blanch, cold bath, cut, bag, freeze.
This is the second year we have put up corn for the winter and boy was it work. We spend a few hours hard at work, but after all was said and done it was worth it. Garrett shucked all the corn, I blanched it all and then we cut it off the cob together. We got 14 bags of corn and our freezer is officially ready for winter! It's so nice to be able to have yummy corn from the fruit stand all through the winter.

Countless HOURS in the car in traffic

Lots of GOOD restaurants
THREE rounds of golf
Sun, Sand, Waves, Golf, Food, Fun!

Family outing at the Lake

Yet another trip out to Sand Hollow to do some fishin!!!! This was a fun trip because we loaded up the entire family and headed to the lake. We love our nieces and nephews - oh, and the rest of the fam too! Garrett beat us all in the fishing competition though. His mom gave him a run for his money, but he was catching them left and right. Me - I caught myself one fish. I'm so grateful that we live close to our family and we are able to do things together as a family.
